Clarion 1954-10-01 Vol 32 No 01

Pictured above is Dr. Henry C. Wingblade, recently retired pres-ident
of Bethel College and Seminary, as he receives the bound volume
of letters from Dr. Carl H. Burton, chairman of the school board. The
book contained expressions of appreciation and good wishes from friends
and organizations that Dr. Wingblade has been in contact with during
his years in office. The dining hall was the scene of the reception in
honor of Dr. Wingblade. It was held on Sept. 17, 1954.
Lundquist Begins Presidency
Carl H. Lundquist is a familiar name to most Bethelites because
he has been active in Conference work for the last ten years. He
served on the Board of Home Missions from 1945 to 1953 (as chairman
from 1951 to 1953), as acting Executive Secretary of the Board of
Trustees of the Conference, and other responsible positions.
Administrative responsibilities had their beginning back in his
high school days. First he headed his church young people's group.
Then he was chosen president of the South Dakota Young People's
Society. Perhaps the climaxing experience was his appointment to the
presidency of the Student Association of Sioux Falls College.
Coupling this background with ten years in a pastorate (Elim
Church, Chicago) has made President Lundquist keen to the needs of
young people setting out in full-time service for Christ either as minis-ters
and missionaries or as laymen.
Last January he joined Bethel's faculty as acting Dean. From then
on, the Lundquists had a part in all school activities, ranging from
basketball games to banquets. In the crowd at the Student Center, the
youthful (37 years of age) president can easily be mistaken for a stu-dent.
President Lundquist, young in years but mature in experience,
and God-guided throughout his entire life, is God's man for the job.

Reception For
New Students
It's all different now, the plans
for the reception of new students.
The formal affair will be held in
the lounge of Bodien residence
between the hours of 8-8:30 p.m.
next Monday. From the reception
line, composed of faculty and ad-ministration
members, the stu-dents
will go to the dining hall
and be served refreshments. There
they will be introduced to the
college faculty.
President Carl Lundquist and
Norris Magnuson, president of the
student senate, will conclude a
short program with speeches.
Officially the freshman initia-tion
period will conclude with this
reception. But unofficially the in-itiation
period concludes tonight
with benedictions and all forms of
hey-dey from upper classmen.

The Chapel Choir, under A,the
direptinr.. af_ , ir-Trmward _ k --
been changed to the Bethel Col-lege
Choir and will take its mem-bers
from the college exclusively,
except for last year's members
who are now enrolled in seminary.
Together with these. groups is
the addition of an entirely new
musical group, the Bethel Chapel
Choir. This choir will provide mu-sic
periodically for the chapel
services and is open to all college
students. This group also will act
as a feeder for the other groups.
Tours are planned for all three
groups. The Male Chorus is sched-uled
to go to Denver while the
College Choir will tour the East.
Both tours are scheduled between
the winter and spring quarters.
The Chapel Choir will make
several short trips during the win-ter
and spring quarters.
New Teachers
Added to Staff
The Bethel faculty family has
received six new members to its
staff for the fall quarter. The
report also stated that Miss Lillian
Ryberg, professor of Spanish, will
join the English department be-sides
remaining in her previous
field.
The new appointments listed
are: Mr. Francis Wheeler, Greek
and history; Mr. Ted Nichols, ma-thematics;
Mr. 0. Gisselquist, his-tory;
Mr. Bert Anderson, piano
and organ; Mrs. C. Green, speech;
Mr. J. Woods, English.
Two notes of interest: Mr. J.
Woods is a pastor who formerly
taught English at Bethel; Mr. Ted
Nichols will replace Mr. Quentin
Bohne in the math department.
Homecoming Festivities
Planned for Oct. 15,16
Dr. Clarence Nelson, president of North Park College, has been
chosen speaker for Homecoming's Saturday night program. Also feat-ured
with him will be the Bethel Choir and the Mantzke quartet.
Music Groups Reorganized
The traditional rivalry between two outstanding musical groups
on our campus, the Chapel Choir and the Male Chorus, has come to
halt with the announcement of several changes in the music depart-ment.
The Male Chorus, directed by Nels Stjernstrom, will be limited in
membership to seminary students, those students pre-enrolled in sem-inary,
and members of last year's Male Chorus.
Bethel Welcomes You
Glancing through almost any
writing about our school we soon
come across the words, "A campus
of Christian Scholarship." These
words should come to us with
real meaning because, if true, they
are of great importance. They tell
us that at Bethel young people
can be equipped richly both in
mind and soul. Most of us know
this well and are proud of Bethel
for it.
And yet, no matter how able her faculty, no matter how excellent her
classrooms and library, no matter what provisions are made for our
spiritual life, in one very important sense Bethel is never a campus of
Christian scholarship until each of us catches the challenge of those
words. For they are a statement of what Bethel seeks and of what
she is prepared to give. But they are not a guarantee, except as each
of us helps to make them true. And, as we do work, those words give
us assurance that our experience at Bethel will leave us well-equipped
both for our own happiness in life and for service for our Lord. This
is the challenge your Student Senate wants to take to themselves; and
it is the challenge we pray each of you will take. As we do it our
school will continue to hold and to increase its reputation as a place
where men and women may come and experience real growth, both
in intellectual and spiritual depth.
Norris Magnuson
President of Student Senate
Too often, in a brass quartet,
one horn is too loud; so what
should be a quartet is a solo with
accompaniment. It is too easy for
a leader of a campus organization
to feel his group is one of the
few indispensable organizations on
campus. The Religious Council is
dispensable. But while it is here,
it has a task. It is not a panacea
for all campus ills. It
is not a judge of all campus activities. It is not a "gift" to Bethel,
to keep it on the proper path. But, it is a group of students, elected
and appointed to give their attention to that particular place in the
campus which we call religious. That place is not clearly defined, even
as the religious aspect of any individual student's experience is vague.
However, we feel it is our task to discern the campus needs in the reli-gious
realm, and try to cause their fulfillment. We can only hope to
make a contribution.
As we look at this year, it is unfolding like a crossword puzzle.
We must determine what fits into each situation and build from there,
always admitting error, and rejoicing in good decisions.

Chairman of Religious Council

Student Activities ..
Athletics
Intramurals
This year intramurals, directly
supervised by the Athletic Depart-ment,
offer a complete program of
sports including football, basket-ball,
table tennis, volley ball, and
tentatively, handball and horse-shoes.
All activities are open to
the were students. Only basket-ball,
volley ball, and table tennis
are open to the women. Russ
Sandblom, chairman of the Ath-letic
Council, will answer any
questions and accept all sugges-tions.
He says, "The more support
you give to the program, the bet-ter
it will be."
Collegiate.)
At present, football has the spot-light
in the Inter-Collegiate Ath-leticr
Program. Two of the eight
games scheduled have already
been completed. "All-out support"
is the byword. Every fellow, tall,
short, lean or fat, should try out
for the teams; but it cannot end
There. The enthusiasm of a crowd
behind the boys who do make the
team is the life-blood of inter-collegiate
competition. The team
says, "Don't let the CLARION tell
you what the scores are—be there
to know!"
Debate.
A hog on ice (or roller skates)
is no more out of place than an
educated Christian who cannot
speak well. Yet many neglect this
phase of their education or limit
it to one or two speech classes
while passing by the opportunity
found in debate. Debate teaches
a person to speak and to think
while speaking. Students interest-ed
can contact Dr. Paul Grabill,
director of debate, or attend the
first debate soon to be announced.
Publications
Clariory
The CLARION has begun anoth-er
year as Bethel's reporter, jes
ter, and unofficial conscience. To
keep putting the paper out re-quires
lots of hard work, but
CLARION staffers feel the accom-plishment
is worth the effort. New
staff members are needed, howev-er,
to make this year's paper a suc-cess.
Anyone who would like to
write, report, type, read proof,
sell advertisements, or help with
make-up of the paper may contact
the editor through post office box
F-10.
Spire
A new school year has begun,
and with it the task of making a
new pictorial record of campus
life, learning, laughter, and love.
Staff members of the Spire, Beth-el's
yearbook, are enthusiastic al-though
they know it means many
hours of hard labor ahead. But
more staffers are needed! If you
would like to type, photograph,
write copy, or do layout, contact
Marlys Malmsten, editor of the
Spire, P. 0. F-10.
Missions
The Foreign Mission Fellowship
(FMF) gives missionary minded
students a chance to learn more
about the foreign work. FMF
holds monthly meetings with mis-sionary
speakers and a question-and-
answer period. Discussion
groups, prayer meetings, and pre-sentation
of the missionary chal-lenge
to the student body keep
members busy. A gospel team re-presents
FMF and missions in
churches throughout the region.
Several social meeting. In an ex-otic
atmosphere are planned for
this year.
Camera Club
A devoted band of shutterbugs
forms the Camera Club. They have
two aims: to learn the principles
of photography and the use of the
camera in Christian service. Lec-tures,
demonstrations, and dark-room
work help every member to
become a more skilled camera-man.
Everyone interested is wel-come
to the -meetings.
Students interested in German
customs and way of life as well
as language and literature are
members of the German Club.
They meet once a month after
lunch to sing German songs and
hear special speakers or see films
on Germany. Other entertaining
sessions and outings are in the
club's plans for this school year.
Spanish
Everyone interested in the
Spanish-speaking peoples is wel-come
to belong to the Spanish
Club. The monthly meetings pro-vide
"live" interest for students
of the language. Spanish songs and
games, visits to the Mexican quar-ter,
a meal in a Mexican restaur-ant
are all on the agenda. Joel
Bermudez and Jerry Anderson
provide a missionary interest.
Swedish
Students of the Swedish classes
form the Swedish Club which is
devoted to exploring Swedish life
and culture. A Swedish Christmas
"Lucia Fest," a visit to the Swed-ish-
American Institute in Minne-apolis,
and movies of Sweden are
some of the memorable activities.
Watch for announcements of their
meetings.
Have You Met
Worthal,
Little Man On Campus?
The Lord first spoke to me
about serving Him in a greater
measure when my pastor returned
from a tour of Europe. He brought
pictures from Finland which show-ed
the spiritual need in that coun-try.
The missionary challenge that
followed made a deep impression
on me and for the first time I
was faced with the question of
life service. "Me, Lord? You
know how little I can do," was my
excuse for the next year.
One night at a tent meeting
God wooed me again, this time
with a passage of Scripture that
took away all my excuses: "But
God hath chosen the foolish things
to confound the wise."
After this I began to look for a
school where I could get my train-ing.
Bethel was the most natural
place to go. And when my appli-cation
was accepted, I then knew
this was the Lord's will for me.

Freshman Daze
by Rip Moore
Carrying five suitcases and a
duffel bag I staggered into room
223. A tall fuzzy-headed fellow
with the superior air of a soph-omore
met me. "Hi, I'm your
roommate," he said, looking me
over. "Freshman, eh? You got a
lot to learn. Well, let's head for
chow." I followed obediently.
I had barely finished supper
when a shower of dishes poured
onto my tray. When the stack was
three feet high I was commanded,
"Carry them." I obeyed, losing
only three or four glasses. "Now
come get the rest," my tablemates
yelled. I squared my shoulders,
muttered between clenched teeth,
"Britons never, never shall be
slaves," and marched out into the
night.
"Don't they have any beds?"
I asked my roommate when I
came in.
"You've got a lot to learn," he
said coldly. "You'll find a bed-frame
under the pingpong table.
Mattress is in the shower room;
it's a little damp, though. Pillow's
stuck somewhere in the linen
chute. Sheets and blanket on the
lawn behind the dorm."
Three hours later I crawled in-to
bed. "Now I'm a freshman," I
sighed. "And I've got a lot to
learn."

Goodbye Mr. Chips
The campus seems a little strange without him. For the first time
in fourteen years, when school opened this fall, Dr. Henry C. Wingblade
was not on hand to greet freshmen and returning students. For 37
years of the last 44 he has been working at Bethel.
Dr. Wingblade stepped down officially on September 1, when his
duties of office passed into the able hands of Rev. Carl Lundquist.
But he has not retired. Instead he has answered a call to be pastor
of the Trinity Baptist Church in New York City. He began his ministry
there last Sunday, Sept. 26.
Goodby, Dr. Wingblade. We who knew you will miss you. And we
all say, may God bless you greatly in your new ministry.
Language Clubs Why I Came to Bethel
German By Eric Warnstrom
War experiences during the twelve years I spent in Finland help xl
me see the importance Of believing in a God or a Supernatural Being.
But it was not until September of 1947, after returning to my native
America, that I accepted this God and trusted Him as my own Savior.

Dear Editor:
I'm writing to see if there
might be a possibility of squeez-ing
one or two beds into the girls'
dorm where I might lay my head
when bed-time rolls around. Pre-sently,
I have a big, comfortable,
bed in a beautiful off-campus
home a few blocks from school,
but it happens to be that I don't
wish to hit the bed every night
at 10:30!
Why the fuss? My host and
hostess as well as my roommates
and myself, received letters from
school this week concerning off-campus
hours—these being 10:30
week nights, 11 p.m., weekends
with one 12 o'clock a week with
my "lady's" permission! Yes, I
realize I need the proper rest, but
if I lived in the dorm, I would
have the privilege of a late 12
o'clock) every night of the week
because I'm a senior.
Are off-campus students less de-pendable
than dorm residents? As
a whole: we are older than those
in the dorm and usually have wad
a year or more in the dorm, so
we are quite well aware of he
prevailing rules, and suggested
hours for proper study habits and
rest.
Also, when fellows don't have
rules in the dorm, how come they
must abide by these off-campus
rules when they're upper-class-men?
It seems to me that either
these inconsistencies will have to
be corrected, or more beds will
have to go in the Edgrcn library,
and the Bodien lounge will have
to be turned into a few more
rooms!!
If nothing else, we'd like to
know the reasons for these rules.
Dear Editor,
I'm all for initiations for fresh-men
but personally I think that
a three day period is far too long.
At the end of this period I'm af-raid
that the good natured hazing
will have turned into somewhat of
a nightmare for some of our more
timid frosh. Not only that but al-so
it builds up a wall of resent-ment
between the upperclassmen
which may not easily be forgotten
during the school year. So why
not lessen up on some of the
more lengthy features of initia-tion
and have a one day period
instead? I think the freshmen will
get the general idea behind initi-ation.

A friendly Christian
atmosphere
Dear Editor,
What a riot! I think these Fresh-man
Initiations Should last at
least a week. Initiating the "Green
Freshmen" is not only a lot of
fun but it "cuts the ice" or breaks
the formal atmosphere that a
Freshie might feel. Even though
the victims of this initiation per-iod
might moon or object to the
things they are forced to do, I
really think that they have a lot
of fun doing it.
The fact that they wear name
tags helps the upperclassmen .nd
their own classmates to become ac-quainted
with one another faster.
Editor's Note: The above let-ters
are the first of a number of
letters to be published in the
CLARION this year for the enliv-enment
of student expression. The
first letter could not possibly be
answered this issue, but an ans-wer
will be posted in the next is-sue
along with other letters. All
students are eligible to participate
with the rules governing as listed
on the box across from the stu-dent
affair's office.
Birth or Hams
Birth has been given to another
campus organization, the Amateur
Radio Club. The club was initiat-ed
at an organization meeting last
Monday evening in the seminary
lounge. Ten young hams, one a
lady, attended the formal recep-tion.
The baby was arrayed with
goals and purposes, generally be-ing
to promote an interest and
fellowship in amateur radio to
the glory of God. Under the care
of proper and capable authorities,
it is hoped that a code practice
program may be established for
those seeking to obtain an amateur
license. The more advanced hams
are conducting code practice ses-sions
each Monday through Thurs-day
in room 109 of the seminary
from 5-6 p.m.
As a formal step toward organ-ization,
the following officers were
elected: chief operator, Dick Dahl-quist;
secretary-treasurer, Mel
Halmgren.
The school reception will be
held Monday at 6:30 p.m. in the
seminary lounge. All who are in-terested
in amateur radio are urg-ed
to attend this meeting and
code practice session.
Penny Pitc,h .. .
by Donn Goss
Our campus, like most of the nation's, is devoted to one thing at
this time—World Series. Politicians are finding this true and very ir-ritating
in this terrifically valuable re-election time. Just last week,
Vice President Nixon was in the Cleveland area trying to excite Repub-lican
interests for the rapidly approaching Congressional election. The
in-power party, trying to beat the off-year election jinx, has already
presented a heavy campaign to return a Republican congress to Wash-ington.
The campaign, led by the President as figurehead of the
Republicans, was presented to a baseball world, it seems, as it was
figured on a won-lost average which showed the President pennant
winner after a vigorous season with the house and senate. The season
consisted of many violent battles over the President's program which he
put through with a brilliant average of 840 per cent.
Perhaps the recent returns from Main, which saw Maine elect her
first Democratic government since before Roosevelt, and found the
vote for its popular Republican senator Margaret Smith off by 12 per
cent, showed that people may think the President's average was tallied
unfairly. For example, the President listed "St. Lawrence seaway."
The congress of this year's session was forced to this action, not so
much by the executive branch, but rather to maintain its own prestige
with Canada who decided to go alone if the U.S. voted the bill down.
Then there was the farm program which was counted as victory to
Republican campaigners, but was, at best, a compromise for the admin-istration.
The Republicans are, no doubt, wishing for the same enthusiasm
for their own cause that the world series is arousing in our baseball-dieted
country.

The team meeting General
Beadle T. C., Madison, S. Dak., is
primarily a freshman and sopho-more
studded squad with only four
upper-classmen. However, most of
this year's sophomores were start-ers
last season, and thus are now
much needed experienced men.
Lettermen are DuWayne Pople,
captain, John and Paul Berg, Doug
Dalton, Vern Peterson, Ed Brun-zell,
Fred Thomas, and Carl Sun.
deen.
Newcomers to this year's squad
are Dave Eggen, Dick Abraham-son,
Jim Schmidt, Paul Borg, John
Anderson, Roger Lundeen, George
Wessman, Bob Dahl, Harley Ad-amson,
and John McDonald.
Coach Lynn Lundin has stated
that the boys have shown real
spirit and hustle so far. He also
indicated that if there were any
fellows interested in playing they
should see him immediately.
DuWayne Pople
Bethel Bows
In 2nd Game
The Bethel football squad suc-cumbed
to a strong Jamestown
Teacher's eleven, 46-0, last Satur-day.
The game indicated a dreaded
lack in necessary manpower and
experience on the part of Bethel's
squad. But even though out-played,
the boys showed spirit.
A series of bad breaks, which
included two blocked punts, sev-eral
fumbles, and two inten.-ep-tons,
helped set up easy touch-downs
for the Jimmies.
In the third quarter, the team
rallied, but lacked enough spirit
to put together any sustained ag-gression.
Pople Elected
Grid Captain
The newly-elected captain of
this year's Bethel football team
is DuWayne Pople. This six-foot,
175-pound sophomore hails from
Monmouth, Illinois, where he let-tered
in football in his senior year.
His attitude towards football is
best displayed in the hustle he
shows, whether leading the team
in calisthenics or playing his reg-ular
left guard position. Pople has
proven to be a standout on defense
and an enthusiastic leader.
A change in the organization
and leadership of the intramural
program is promised by Russ
Sandblom, new student head of
intramurals. He goes on to say
that with coach Lundin's help and
guidance this years intramural
program should be much improv-ed.
With this new setup, Russ
would like to encourage many of
the new students, as well as the
old intramural players, to partici-pate
this year. He says, "You want
intramurals; Intramurals want
you."
Wad-omit Sco
The Bethel Royals opened the
new football season on an en-couraging
note by taking the first
game from Itasca Junior College,
6-0. The game showed up the
usual first game raggedness, but
there were several encouraging
factors in the gridders' playing.
One of the bright spots was
the defensive play of the team,
which was evidenced by the fact
that the Itasca team was not al-lowed
inside the Bethel 30-yard
line at any time. Another encour-aging
spot was the passing attack.
The new air attack was on dis-play
throughout the game and
was used to score our lone
The touchdown resulted from a
pass from quarterback Brunzell to
right half Wessman. The play it-self
covered up 35 yards. The pre.
ceding play which helped to set
it up was also a pass. One of Lun-din's
favorites, it starts as a pass
from Brunzell to right end Al ra-hamson,
who is button-hooking.
He in turn laterals to left half
Adamson who is then open, sche-matically.
One aspect of the first game
which needs work on is the offen-sive
blocking. This lack of offen-sive
blocking hindered the backs
from moving as well as they
should.
With the winning of their init-ial
game, the gridders have turf-ed
off to an enthusiastic begin-ning.
As a result, the team, as
well as the fans, are looking for-ward
to an interesting season.

Pictured above is Dr. Henry C. Wingblade, recently retired pres-ident
of Bethel College and Seminary, as he receives the bound volume
of letters from Dr. Carl H. Burton, chairman of the school board. The
book contained expressions of appreciation and good wishes from friends
and organizations that Dr. Wingblade has been in contact with during
his years in office. The dining hall was the scene of the reception in
honor of Dr. Wingblade. It was held on Sept. 17, 1954.
Lundquist Begins Presidency
Carl H. Lundquist is a familiar name to most Bethelites because
he has been active in Conference work for the last ten years. He
served on the Board of Home Missions from 1945 to 1953 (as chairman
from 1951 to 1953), as acting Executive Secretary of the Board of
Trustees of the Conference, and other responsible positions.
Administrative responsibilities had their beginning back in his
high school days. First he headed his church young people's group.
Then he was chosen president of the South Dakota Young People's
Society. Perhaps the climaxing experience was his appointment to the
presidency of the Student Association of Sioux Falls College.
Coupling this background with ten years in a pastorate (Elim
Church, Chicago) has made President Lundquist keen to the needs of
young people setting out in full-time service for Christ either as minis-ters
and missionaries or as laymen.
Last January he joined Bethel's faculty as acting Dean. From then
on, the Lundquists had a part in all school activities, ranging from
basketball games to banquets. In the crowd at the Student Center, the
youthful (37 years of age) president can easily be mistaken for a stu-dent.
President Lundquist, young in years but mature in experience,
and God-guided throughout his entire life, is God's man for the job.

Together with these. groups is
the addition of an entirely new
musical group, the Bethel Chapel
Choir. This choir will provide mu-sic
periodically for the chapel
services and is open to all college
students. This group also will act
as a feeder for the other groups.
Tours are planned for all three
groups. The Male Chorus is sched-uled
to go to Denver while the
College Choir will tour the East.
Both tours are scheduled between
the winter and spring quarters.
The Chapel Choir will make
several short trips during the win-ter

New Teachers
Added to Staff
The Bethel faculty family has
received six new members to its
staff for the fall quarter. The
report also stated that Miss Lillian
Ryberg, professor of Spanish, will
join the English department be-sides
remaining in her previous
field.
The new appointments listed
are: Mr. Francis Wheeler, Greek
and history; Mr. Ted Nichols, ma-thematics;
Mr. 0. Gisselquist, his-tory;
Mr. Bert Anderson, piano
and organ; Mrs. C. Green, speech;
Mr. J. Woods, English.
Two notes of interest: Mr. J.
Woods is a pastor who formerly
taught English at Bethel; Mr. Ted
Nichols will replace Mr. Quentin
Bohne in the math department.
Homecoming Festivities
Planned for Oct. 15,16
Dr. Clarence Nelson, president of North Park College, has been
chosen speaker for Homecoming's Saturday night program. Also feat-ured
with him will be the Bethel Choir and the Mantzke quartet.
Music Groups Reorganized
The traditional rivalry between two outstanding musical groups
on our campus, the Chapel Choir and the Male Chorus, has come to
halt with the announcement of several changes in the music depart-ment.
The Male Chorus, directed by Nels Stjernstrom, will be limited in
membership to seminary students, those students pre-enrolled in sem-inary,
and members of last year's Male Chorus.
Bethel Welcomes You
Glancing through almost any
writing about our school we soon
come across the words, "A campus
of Christian Scholarship." These
words should come to us with
real meaning because, if true, they
are of great importance. They tell
us that at Bethel young people
can be equipped richly both in
mind and soul. Most of us know
this well and are proud of Bethel
for it.
And yet, no matter how able her faculty, no matter how excellent her
classrooms and library, no matter what provisions are made for our
spiritual life, in one very important sense Bethel is never a campus of
Christian scholarship until each of us catches the challenge of those
words. For they are a statement of what Bethel seeks and of what
she is prepared to give. But they are not a guarantee, except as each
of us helps to make them true. And, as we do work, those words give
us assurance that our experience at Bethel will leave us well-equipped
both for our own happiness in life and for service for our Lord. This
is the challenge your Student Senate wants to take to themselves; and
it is the challenge we pray each of you will take. As we do it our
school will continue to hold and to increase its reputation as a place
where men and women may come and experience real growth, both
in intellectual and spiritual depth.
Norris Magnuson
President of Student Senate
Too often, in a brass quartet,
one horn is too loud; so what
should be a quartet is a solo with
accompaniment. It is too easy for
a leader of a campus organization
to feel his group is one of the
few indispensable organizations on
campus. The Religious Council is
dispensable. But while it is here,
it has a task. It is not a panacea
for all campus ills. It
is not a judge of all campus activities. It is not a "gift" to Bethel,
to keep it on the proper path. But, it is a group of students, elected
and appointed to give their attention to that particular place in the
campus which we call religious. That place is not clearly defined, even
as the religious aspect of any individual student's experience is vague.
However, we feel it is our task to discern the campus needs in the reli-gious
realm, and try to cause their fulfillment. We can only hope to
make a contribution.
As we look at this year, it is unfolding like a crossword puzzle.
We must determine what fits into each situation and build from there,
always admitting error, and rejoicing in good decisions.

Chairman of Religious Council

Student Activities ..
Athletics
Intramurals
This year intramurals, directly
supervised by the Athletic Depart-ment,
offer a complete program of
sports including football, basket-ball,
table tennis, volley ball, and
tentatively, handball and horse-shoes.
All activities are open to
the were students. Only basket-ball,
volley ball, and table tennis
are open to the women. Russ

Council, will answer any
questions and accept all sugges-tions.
He says, "The more support
you give to the program, the bet-ter
it will be."
Collegiate.)
At present, football has the spot-light
in the Inter-Collegiate Ath-leticr
Program. Two of the eight
games scheduled have already
been completed. "All-out support"
is the byword. Every fellow, tall,
short, lean or fat, should try out
for the teams; but it cannot end
There. The enthusiasm of a crowd
behind the boys who do make the
team is the life-blood of inter-collegiate
competition. The team
says, "Don't let the CLARION tell
you what the scores are—be there
to know!"
Debate.
A hog on ice (or roller skates)
is no more out of place than an
educated Christian who cannot
speak well. Yet many neglect this
phase of their education or limit
it to one or two speech classes
while passing by the opportunity
found in debate. Debate teaches
a person to speak and to think
while speaking. Students interest-ed
can contact Dr. Paul Grabill,
director of debate, or attend the
first debate soon to be announced.
Publications
Clariory
The CLARION has begun anoth-er
year as Bethel's reporter, jes
ter, and unofficial conscience. To
keep putting the paper out re-quires
lots of hard work, but
CLARION staffers feel the accom-plishment
is worth the effort. New
staff members are needed, howev-er,
to make this year's paper a suc-cess.
Anyone who would like to
write, report, type, read proof,
sell advertisements, or help with
make-up of the paper may contact
the editor through post office box
F-10.
Spire
A new school year has begun,
and with it the task of making a
new pictorial record of campus
life, learning, laughter, and love.
Staff members of the Spire, Beth-el's
yearbook, are enthusiastic al-though
they know it means many
hours of hard labor ahead. But
more staffers are needed! If you
would like to type, photograph,
write copy, or do layout, contact
Marlys Malmsten, editor of the
Spire, P. 0. F-10.
Missions
The Foreign Mission Fellowship
(FMF) gives missionary minded
students a chance to learn more
about the foreign work. FMF
holds monthly meetings with mis-sionary
speakers and a question-and-
answer period. Discussion
groups, prayer meetings, and pre-sentation
of the missionary chal-lenge
to the student body keep
members busy. A gospel team re-presents
FMF and missions in
churches throughout the region.
Several social meeting. In an ex-otic
atmosphere are planned for
this year.
Camera Club
A devoted band of shutterbugs
forms the Camera Club. They have
two aims: to learn the principles
of photography and the use of the
camera in Christian service. Lec-tures,
demonstrations, and dark-room
work help every member to
become a more skilled camera-man.
Everyone interested is wel-come
to the -meetings.
Students interested in German
customs and way of life as well
as language and literature are
members of the German Club.
They meet once a month after
lunch to sing German songs and
hear special speakers or see films
on Germany. Other entertaining
sessions and outings are in the
club's plans for this school year.
Spanish
Everyone interested in the
Spanish-speaking peoples is wel-come
to belong to the Spanish
Club. The monthly meetings pro-vide
"live" interest for students
of the language. Spanish songs and
games, visits to the Mexican quar-ter,
a meal in a Mexican restaur-ant
are all on the agenda. Joel
Bermudez and Jerry Anderson
provide a missionary interest.
Swedish
Students of the Swedish classes
form the Swedish Club which is
devoted to exploring Swedish life
and culture. A Swedish Christmas
"Lucia Fest," a visit to the Swed-ish-
American Institute in Minne-apolis,
and movies of Sweden are
some of the memorable activities.
Watch for announcements of their
meetings.
Have You Met
Worthal,
Little Man On Campus?
The Lord first spoke to me
about serving Him in a greater
measure when my pastor returned
from a tour of Europe. He brought
pictures from Finland which show-ed
the spiritual need in that coun-try.
The missionary challenge that
followed made a deep impression
on me and for the first time I
was faced with the question of
life service. "Me, Lord? You
know how little I can do," was my
excuse for the next year.
One night at a tent meeting
God wooed me again, this time
with a passage of Scripture that
took away all my excuses: "But
God hath chosen the foolish things
to confound the wise."
After this I began to look for a
school where I could get my train-ing.
Bethel was the most natural
place to go. And when my appli-cation
was accepted, I then knew
this was the Lord's will for me.

Freshman Daze
by Rip Moore
Carrying five suitcases and a
duffel bag I staggered into room
223. A tall fuzzy-headed fellow
with the superior air of a soph-omore
met me. "Hi, I'm your
roommate," he said, looking me
over. "Freshman, eh? You got a
lot to learn. Well, let's head for
chow." I followed obediently.
I had barely finished supper
when a shower of dishes poured
onto my tray. When the stack was
three feet high I was commanded,
"Carry them." I obeyed, losing
only three or four glasses. "Now
come get the rest," my tablemates
yelled. I squared my shoulders,
muttered between clenched teeth,
"Britons never, never shall be
slaves," and marched out into the
night.
"Don't they have any beds?"
I asked my roommate when I
came in.
"You've got a lot to learn," he
said coldly. "You'll find a bed-frame
under the pingpong table.
Mattress is in the shower room;
it's a little damp, though. Pillow's
stuck somewhere in the linen
chute. Sheets and blanket on the
lawn behind the dorm."
Three hours later I crawled in-to
bed. "Now I'm a freshman," I
sighed. "And I've got a lot to
learn."

Goodbye Mr. Chips
The campus seems a little strange without him. For the first time
in fourteen years, when school opened this fall, Dr. Henry C. Wingblade
was not on hand to greet freshmen and returning students. For 37
years of the last 44 he has been working at Bethel.
Dr. Wingblade stepped down officially on September 1, when his
duties of office passed into the able hands of Rev. Carl Lundquist.
But he has not retired. Instead he has answered a call to be pastor
of the Trinity Baptist Church in New York City. He began his ministry
there last Sunday, Sept. 26.
Goodby, Dr. Wingblade. We who knew you will miss you. And we
all say, may God bless you greatly in your new ministry.
Language Clubs Why I Came to Bethel
German By Eric Warnstrom
War experiences during the twelve years I spent in Finland help xl
me see the importance Of believing in a God or a Supernatural Being.
But it was not until September of 1947, after returning to my native

Dear Editor:
I'm writing to see if there
might be a possibility of squeez-ing
one or two beds into the girls'
dorm where I might lay my head
when bed-time rolls around. Pre-sently,
I have a big, comfortable,
bed in a beautiful off-campus
home a few blocks from school,
but it happens to be that I don't
wish to hit the bed every night
at 10:30!
Why the fuss? My host and
hostess as well as my roommates
and myself, received letters from
school this week concerning off-campus
hours—these being 10:30
week nights, 11 p.m., weekends
with one 12 o'clock a week with
my "lady's" permission! Yes, I
realize I need the proper rest, but
if I lived in the dorm, I would
have the privilege of a late 12
o'clock) every night of the week
because I'm a senior.
Are off-campus students less de-pendable
than dorm residents? As
a whole: we are older than those
in the dorm and usually have wad
a year or more in the dorm, so
we are quite well aware of he
prevailing rules, and suggested
hours for proper study habits and
rest.
Also, when fellows don't have
rules in the dorm, how come they
must abide by these off-campus
rules when they're upper-class-men?
It seems to me that either
these inconsistencies will have to
be corrected, or more beds will
have to go in the Edgrcn library,
and the Bodien lounge will have
to be turned into a few more
rooms!!
If nothing else, we'd like to
know the reasons for these rules.
Dear Editor,
I'm all for initiations for fresh-men
but personally I think that
a three day period is far too long.
At the end of this period I'm af-raid
that the good natured hazing
will have turned into somewhat of
a nightmare for some of our more
timid frosh. Not only that but al-so
it builds up a wall of resent-ment
between the upperclassmen
which may not easily be forgotten
during the school year. So why
not lessen up on some of the
more lengthy features of initia-tion
and have a one day period
instead? I think the freshmen will
get the general idea behind initi-ation.

A friendly Christian
atmosphere
Dear Editor,
What a riot! I think these Fresh-man
Initiations Should last at
least a week. Initiating the "Green
Freshmen" is not only a lot of
fun but it "cuts the ice" or breaks
the formal atmosphere that a
Freshie might feel. Even though
the victims of this initiation per-iod
might moon or object to the
things they are forced to do, I
really think that they have a lot
of fun doing it.
The fact that they wear name
tags helps the upperclassmen .nd
their own classmates to become ac-quainted
with one another faster.
Editor's Note: The above let-ters
are the first of a number of
letters to be published in the
CLARION this year for the enliv-enment
of student expression. The
first letter could not possibly be
answered this issue, but an ans-wer
will be posted in the next is-sue
along with other letters. All
students are eligible to participate
with the rules governing as listed
on the box across from the stu-dent
affair's office.
Birth or Hams
Birth has been given to another
campus organization, the Amateur
Radio Club. The club was initiat-ed
at an organization meeting last
Monday evening in the seminary
lounge. Ten young hams, one a
lady, attended the formal recep-tion.
The baby was arrayed with
goals and purposes, generally be-ing
to promote an interest and
fellowship in amateur radio to
the glory of God. Under the care
of proper and capable authorities,
it is hoped that a code practice
program may be established for
those seeking to obtain an amateur
license. The more advanced hams
are conducting code practice ses-sions
each Monday through Thurs-day
in room 109 of the seminary
from 5-6 p.m.
As a formal step toward organ-ization,
the following officers were
elected: chief operator, Dick Dahl-quist;
secretary-treasurer, Mel
Halmgren.
The school reception will be
held Monday at 6:30 p.m. in the
seminary lounge. All who are in-terested
in amateur radio are urg-ed
to attend this meeting and
code practice session.

Our campus, like most of the nation's, is devoted to one thing at
this time—World Series. Politicians are finding this true and very ir-ritating
in this terrifically valuable re-election time. Just last week,
Vice President Nixon was in the Cleveland area trying to excite Repub-lican
interests for the rapidly approaching Congressional election. The
in-power party, trying to beat the off-year election jinx, has already
presented a heavy campaign to return a Republican congress to Wash-ington.
The campaign, led by the President as figurehead of the
Republicans, was presented to a baseball world, it seems, as it was
figured on a won-lost average which showed the President pennant
winner after a vigorous season with the house and senate. The season
consisted of many violent battles over the President's program which he
put through with a brilliant average of 840 per cent.
Perhaps the recent returns from Main, which saw Maine elect her
first Democratic government since before Roosevelt, and found the
vote for its popular Republican senator Margaret Smith off by 12 per
cent, showed that people may think the President's average was tallied
unfairly. For example, the President listed "St. Lawrence seaway."
The congress of this year's session was forced to this action, not so
much by the executive branch, but rather to maintain its own prestige
with Canada who decided to go alone if the U.S. voted the bill down.
Then there was the farm program which was counted as victory to
Republican campaigners, but was, at best, a compromise for the admin-istration.
The Republicans are, no doubt, wishing for the same enthusiasm
for their own cause that the world series is arousing in our baseball-dieted
country.

THE CLARION
Friday, October 1, 1954 Gridders Cop 0 ever
The team meeting General
Beadle T. C., Madison, S. Dak., is
primarily a freshman and sopho-more
studded squad with only four
upper-classmen. However, most of
this year's sophomores were start-ers
last season, and thus are now
much needed experienced men.
Lettermen are DuWayne Pople,
captain, John and Paul Berg, Doug
Dalton, Vern Peterson, Ed Brun-zell,
Fred Thomas, and Carl Sun.
deen.
Newcomers to this year's squad
are Dave Eggen, Dick Abraham-son,
Jim Schmidt, Paul Borg, John
Anderson, Roger Lundeen, George
Wessman, Bob Dahl, Harley Ad-amson,
and John McDonald.
Coach Lynn Lundin has stated
that the boys have shown real
spirit and hustle so far. He also
indicated that if there were any
fellows interested in playing they
should see him immediately.
DuWayne Pople
Bethel Bows
In 2nd Game
The Bethel football squad suc-cumbed
to a strong Jamestown
Teacher's eleven, 46-0, last Satur-day.
The game indicated a dreaded
lack in necessary manpower and
experience on the part of Bethel's
squad. But even though out-played,
the boys showed spirit.
A series of bad breaks, which
included two blocked punts, sev-eral
fumbles, and two inten.-ep-tons,
helped set up easy touch-downs
for the Jimmies.
In the third quarter, the team
rallied, but lacked enough spirit
to put together any sustained ag-gression.
Pople Elected
Grid Captain
The newly-elected captain of
this year's Bethel football team
is DuWayne Pople. This six-foot,
175-pound sophomore hails from
Monmouth, Illinois, where he let-tered
in football in his senior year.
His attitude towards football is
best displayed in the hustle he
shows, whether leading the team
in calisthenics or playing his reg-ular
left guard position. Pople has
proven to be a standout on defense
and an enthusiastic leader.
A change in the organization
and leadership of the intramural
program is promised by Russ
Sandblom, new student head of
intramurals. He goes on to say
that with coach Lundin's help and
guidance this years intramural
program should be much improv-ed.
With this new setup, Russ
would like to encourage many of
the new students, as well as the
old intramural players, to partici-pate
this year. He says, "You want
intramurals; Intramurals want
you."
Wad-omit Sco
The Bethel Royals opened the
new football season on an en-couraging
note by taking the first
game from Itasca Junior College,
6-0. The game showed up the
usual first game raggedness, but
there were several encouraging
factors in the gridders' playing.
One of the bright spots was
the defensive play of the team,
which was evidenced by the fact
that the Itasca team was not al-lowed
inside the Bethel 30-yard
line at any time. Another encour-aging
spot was the passing attack.
The new air attack was on dis-play
throughout the game and
was used to score our lone
The touchdown resulted from a
pass from quarterback Brunzell to
right half Wessman. The play it-self
covered up 35 yards. The pre.
ceding play which helped to set
it up was also a pass. One of Lun-din's
favorites, it starts as a pass
from Brunzell to right end Al ra-hamson,
who is button-hooking.
He in turn laterals to left half
Adamson who is then open, sche-matically.
One aspect of the first game
which needs work on is the offen-sive
blocking. This lack of offen-sive
blocking hindered the backs
from moving as well as they
should.
With the winning of their init-ial
game, the gridders have turf-ed
off to an enthusiastic begin-ning.
As a result, the team, as
well as the fans, are looking for-ward
to an interesting season.
